[V8] Re: 255's on 71x 9 rims?

[J123fs at aol.com]

Hey Listers,
I remember some discussion in the past, but could find nothing definitive  in 
the archives as to whether or not 255- 45 or 40(?) -17's will fit on the  V8 
without rubbing. 
My current setup is 17 x 9 et 35, with 235-45-17 tires on it ( I have 14"  
Wilwoods, so no go on anything less than 17" wheels). They have a  few little 
dings from chuckholes and will now be winter wheels only. 
So, I thought that I would poss go up a size for my new summer  wheels.
Also, any BTDT with regards to certain tires that might be a "little"  wider 
than normal and might rub (whereas some in the same size do not) might be  
great too.
Happy New Year,
Jack
 
And FYI , anyone interested in a nice set of factory wheels with 30% worn  
Dunlops 225-55-15(mounted) before they hit the marketplace and Ebay? 
Wheels are solid 8+ in the looks and no dents.
Respond off list please, and note that they are located in southern NH.
